Western media continues to ignore this gruesome Islamic practice and when they do cover it, it is quaint and cultural - see here. This is a terrible, growing trend and it will only get worse if we continue to pretend it's not really happening here.

This horrible story offers an opportunity yet again to show that the
information Islamic spokesmen provide to non-Muslims in the West is often
incomplete, misleading, or outright deceptive. A few months ago the British
convert to Islam Yusuf Smith asserted at Jihad Watch: "I have never heard anyone suggest
that FGM is spreading in the west..."

"Couple charged in Norway for circumcising 5 girls," from Reuters, June 6 (thanks to the Constantinopolitan
Irredentist):

OSLO (Reuters) - Police in Norway have arrested a Gambian-born man
and charged him and his wife with subjecting five of their six daughters to
genital mutilation, officials said on Friday.

The practice, also known as female circumcision, is outlawed in Norway and
arouses horror among many people in the West but is a rite of passage for young
women in many countries, predominantly in Africa.

Oh. That makes it all right in Africa, eh, Reuters?

The youngest of the five mutilated girls, all born in Norway, is
five years old, police officials said. The others are aged seven, 10, 13 and 14
and live in Gambia, national broadcaster NRK reported.

Police officer Hanne Kristin Rohde, head of the violent crime and vice
section of the Oslo police, said on Norwegian commercial television TV 2 that
the father -- a naturalized Norwegian citizen along with his wife -- was taken
into custody on Friday.

"Norwegian police have charged this couple of Gambian background for breaking
the Norwegian law on genital mutilation -- five of their six daughters are
circumcised," Rohde said.

The mother is pregnant with a seventh child and was deemed unfit to be held
in jail.

Gojam in the Amhara region.
